Answer from Hansard

The Minister for Social Security and Disability (Sir Stephen Timms)

We will champion disabled people and those with long-term health conditions. Our “Get Britain Working” plan will support many more who were failed by the last Government to enter and stay in work. We will devolve power to local areas for a joined-up work, health and skills offer.
